Here are the details…
MSI Unveils Waves of AI-Ready Laptops & Its First Gaming Handheld at CES 2024
While portable devices are essential, enjoying content on a larger screen offers an incomparable experience. Acknowledging this, MSI has combined portability with an 18-inch screen size in its new gaming laptop models. The Titan 18 HX, Raider 18 HX, and Stealth 18 AI Studio models all boast a giant display.
All these laptops feature high-performance processors such as the i9 and offer various Nvidia GeForce GPU choices, ranging from the RTX 4070 to the RTX 4090.

Apple and Samsung are two of the biggest names in the smartphone world, and they’re both diving headfirst into the future of AI. The tech industry is buzzing about AI and its potential to change our devices and how we use them. Let’s take a closer look at what these tech giants are up to.
Samsung is launching its Galaxy S24 on January 17 this month
Samsung is getting a lot of attention with its Galaxy S24, set to debut at Unpacked on January 17. This phone is being called the company’s first ‘AI phone’. What exactly does that mean? Well, we’re not entirely sure yet, but it’s expected to have smarter AI features and the ability to understand and process language better than ever before.
Meanwhile, Apple isn’t sitting back. Rumor has it that they’re working on some cool AI stuff for their next iPhone series and iOS 18. We might get a sneak peek at these new features at WWDC this summer. Apple’s plans include tools to help people create apps, make writing and presenting easier, and even jazz up Apple Music with automatic playlist creation. And get this – Siri might be getting a major upgrade too, with new AI capabilities by the end of the year.
It’s not just about having the latest hardware anymore. Both Samsung and Apple seem to understand that. With AI, these phones could become more like personal assistants, understanding and anticipating our needs in ways we haven’t seen before. It’s an exciting time for smartphone users, as we’re on the brink of a whole new era where our phones are not just smart – they’re super smart.

Intel is stepping up its game in the tech world with its latest 14th Gen mobile and desktop processor lineup. This includes the new HX-series mobile processors, set to rev up 2024’s gaming laptops. Don’t mix these up with the Core Ultra CPUs for laptops; these new processors are an upgrade from the 13th Gen Raptor Lake mobile versions.
The new mobile CPU has an impressive 24 cores and a max clock speed of 5.8GHz
The star of the show is the Intel Core i9-14900HX, tailored for high-performance gaming laptops. It boasts an impressive 24 cores and can reach speeds up to 5.8GHz. But it’s not just about speed – these chips support up to 192GB of DDR5-5600 memory, along with the latest in connectivity like Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and Thunderbolt 5.
Intel has also beefed up the Core i7 variant. The new Core i7-14700HX now has 20 cores, four more efficiency cores than its predecessor. This upgrade should enhance the performance of multithreaded applications and games.
In the ring with AMD, Intel’s Core i9-14900HX seems to have an edge in most tests compared to AMD’s Ryzen 9 7945HX, although it doesn’t outperform in every game. It’s important to note, however, that Intel hasn’t compared these new chips with its own 13th Gen models. Our previous look at the 14th Gen desktop chips suggested they were more of a refresh than a revolution, especially when stacked against AMD’s top desktop gaming CPUs.
On the desktop front, Intel is also launching its mainstream 14th Gen CPUs. There are 18 new processors in this lineup, including the flagship Core i9-14900. This one also has 24 cores and is designed to be less power-hungry, operating at 65 watts base power. Like its mobile counterparts, these desktop CPUs support up to DDR5-5600 and 192GB of memory and are compatible with existing Intel 600- and 700-series motherboards.
